Sacramento Kings Rumours

15 Feb 2018 22:36:33
I want to prefix this with Aaron Gordon is a restricted free agent. So his presumed value is probably more than Philly fans would expect, but less than Orlando fans would have want.

Not a bad trade.
Gordon is definitely a better player then Saric, but not "enough better" to also include a lottery pick this year in a very strong draft. I think the chemistry with Saric works great in philly. he's 23, on a bargain basement contract, is putting up 15 pts and 7 rebs a game, and is shooting 39% from 3pt. Again, I really like Gordon, but not the move for the sixers.

If philly land this years lakers pick the kings pick goes to Boston. As part of the Fultz deal.
Gordon adding a jumpshot has elevated his game and potential so Saric and a lottery pick is fair as Gordon has star potential but even if he does reach it he will still be a quality player and complement Philly core but not sure Orlando will part with him.

Minny will have a nice run with Butler this year, but he's already 29 and he's going to ask for a big contract when he's 31 years old. And Minny also have to pay KAT a max contract after next year. Ball is on a rookie contract for three more years. So that will give the Wolves time to develop and still stay under the luxurytax. So i think they would consider this trade offer.

CP3 is almost 34 years old. He doesn't need the money anymore. He wants a title and he has the same agent as LBJ. And the sponsors will give hime some extra money for playing in LA with LBJ. CP3 wants a title and this team has a window for beating golden state. And there are many good younger pointguards in the league, so his value could go down fast.

The offer for Reddick is a . little low, but he had a big contract last year and the teams don't have the capspace to spent the same next year. LA could try to get W Matthews if Reddick refuses the offer.

I think as time goes by the value Ball has being on an affordable rookie contract deteriorates based on his Dad's circus. On the surface Minny seems like the perfect place away from the bright lights of L. A. for Ball to develop maturity on and off court. Shame his Dad can't do the same. Minny passes.

I don't see it for the Kings. They aren't competing any time soon and don't have their pick next year. Plus, Hield is a similiar (not nearly as good though) player and they just need to continue their rebuild.

Jorga, apparently, they were really high on Crowder. I'm surprised how little they ended up getting for him. I'm accused of being a Cavs homer and I thought they should have gotten atleast a late 1st as well.

^^^^ LMAO wow rkenne_16 you're good. How many times are you going to say that you posted something first? ESPN had it before you LOL stop acting like your an NBA inside reporter getting first word of these trades SMH.

Do you not read any of the reports about the Cavs? Seems like you just live in a fantasy land where you come up with ridiculous trades all day. It's been reported by several media sources including ESPN that Cleveland found no interest in Thompson Schumpert or Smith. So wake up finally and realize what everyone else has known. Cleveland has no trade options, and to get rid of those players they would have to give up the nets pick like I've said all along.

07 Feb 2018 16:45:04
Agree with skills85 if not the tone. Cleveland has very few trade options. LeBron and IT are both gone in July, and the roster is filled with a bunch of guys who are overpaid (thanks to James wanting his buddies around him) . Love has value, but not this year due to the injury. Cavs might be able to get a high second for Crowder, but he's not a starter in this league. They're even stuck with Lue, who cashed in after the title and is signed for three years after this one. Best thing to do is let James and IT walk, pare down salary as much as they can this summer and hope they hit on the Brooklyn pick.

The Shumpert and Frye trade has been on the table and the only thing holding it back is the Cavs want to include Smith instead of Shumpert because of Hill's contract. Apparently you're the one not paying attention. As for the Hornets in this, they save significant money in this and don't take on any extra long term salary. Teams aren't interested in Thompson or Smith, but they would be if they're getting rid of one of their own bad contracts.

From the Kings stand point, they get the salary savings and pick that they want.

For the Hornets, they save significant money the next 2 years, get a pick and 2 decent prospects for players that are signed for multiple years that they don't want and they get players that can offset some of the production they lose.

Howard is not considered a bad contract.
Hill would have to be for a 1st with Smith contract. A second with Shumpert, and CLE wants Hill to agree to a renegotion, which he said he wouldn't, if they trade the first. I'd be surprised if CLE does the deal. Love, James, Crowder, Thomas, Wade, are really all that is valuable. I think the longer the Kings sit on Hill the less likely they do the deal before deadline. Kings have all the leverage, and time they need. They're rebuilding. CLE is in disorder, and panic from a fan standpoint. It's why the same trades are posted on here 10,000 times. Sort of an attempt to speak into existence.

Osman is not a decent prospect, he doesn't even hardly play. Cleveland doesn't know what a prospect is, because James wants nothing but 30+ year old players on his team. Again though you're just to stupid to see that nobody wants Cleveland's garbage. There's no trade on the table for Cleveland. So stopp making crap up. Everyone else that replied agreed with me, so if that isn't a hint for you to go away I don't know what is.

The Kings don't have many bad contracts outside of Koufos and George Hill. Bringing in Shumpert would not be a big blow to their player roll and Isaiah Thomas, who's rumored to sign with a team has the money to afford a maximum deal, could get a fresh start on his former team before he hits the open market. The Kings would also get an advantage in the Isaiah Thomas sweepstakes that is soon to come this summer. Isaiah Thomas and the Cavs are having mutual issues on and off the court. We know that he thrives when he can be the primary scorer and the Kings simply do not have one. The Cav's 2018 also could be valuable depending on how the rest of their season plays out.

Cavs Receive- De'aaron Fox, George Hill

The Cavs would be forced to take on George Hill's contract, but De'arron Fox is a good center piece for the future and they still have the Brooklyn pick. If Lebron leaves, their future will already be set with the assets that they currently have. George Hill will make the Cavs a better unit and improve the offense and defense significantly. This move is good for the Cav's future and for this season as a whole.

Okay the first rounder isn't what the deal is based on. Isaiah Thomas is the main piece of the deal. The Kings already have a plethora of youth and young talent. It's time for them to get some proven players and attempt to get over the hump.

George is so much better a player than Noah that it's going to take more than a couple of 2nd's to do this deal. If Noah had one less year on his deal, and you threw is a young asset like Dotson, then maybe. That said, there is no financial benefit at all to the Kings, so they'll want a first to take on Jo's deal.
